I like the Innovate LM1.
I've got the 6n1 AEM unit or some **** I think. It came with its own guage and sensor. Has outputs for data logging too.
Not sure if it was worth the little bit I paid for it or not. We'll see sometime before I die.

i have a zeitronix one, if you want something that can datalog and wont break the wallet this one is perfect
http://www.zeitronix.com/Products/zt2/zt2.htm
it datalogs directly to my laptop
it only cost me 300 shipped
from what i have found this one is super easy to use and gives you everything you will need to get a good tune
Innovate and PLX got some good products but you are gonna pay, especially if you want to datalog
Here is what I bought $199: AEM Uego 6n1 wideband (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AEM-GAUGE-TYPE-6-IN-1-WIDEBAND-UEGO-CONTROLLER-30-4100_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46100QQihZ018QQite mZ280242499870QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)

Hopefully that link/pic stay up for a while.
I had thought it said, or I read, that it could data log. Maybe I am wrong. I'll have to reread the directions again when I get home.
ETA: It does have an AFR output using an RS 232 cable, or a user programmable 0-5V output for data logging.

will these only datalog to a pc, or does sct sell one that can link to the xcal.
this is for stoich right??
also, when you link them, does that mean that you tap into the back of the gauge, or do i have to weld another bung in for another o2 sensor, or can i just use this one for both the gauge and ecu??

with the wideband you need another bung
mine reads from 9:1 to 21:1 and datalogs directly to my laptop
the xcal can datalog but only reads the narrowband o2 sensor

so in your guys opinion, which would you recommend, i understand that the more it can monitor the better, but at the same time im one of those keep it simple type things, and would rather keep it all monitored in one place. but i would rather do what best for performance
but from what i understand, in order to data log to the laptop from the xcal, i would need the laptop anyways.

jess would know more on that one but i would say you are correct
i am very happy with the zeitronix that i have and does everything i need it to do in order to tune my truck
it datalogs directly to my laptop and i can export all the data into excel

Ya yours is a really nice setup, if i got one i'd probably get the same thing.

looking at datalogs on handhelds suck! your going to need a laptop any way you slice it if you want to do any kind of real tuning.
id recommend the zietronix if your going to be obd1. reason being you need something to datalog anyways unless you have a tweecer that datalogs. and dataloggers for obd1 are expensive. bad thing is your only datalogging the sensors which is like curing a disease by only looking at the symptoms.
if your obd2 you really dont need a dataloger you just need a wideband that outputs 0-5 volts and to your sct for dataloging.

And where would you hook it up to the SCT tuner?
